Months passed as the day of Su Yiren's childbirth drew closer and closer.
"Last day?" Kai asked, pecking Su Yiren gently on the forehead.
With a soft smile, Su Yiren rubbed her belly while seated.
"Most likely," she replied as Kai nodded.
"Well, since we're both Immortal Emperors, it might not be today, don't you think?" Kai said.
Su Yiren shook her head. "Normally, yes. But with all the excessive resources you've been feeding me… it'll be tomorrow," she pouted, puffing her cheeks.
Kai laughed.
"Haha, the last day before the year ends—not bad at all." He nodded thoughtfully. He'd heard tales of others giving birth after two years, five years, or even a decade. But theirs was relatively short—twelve months. Tomorrow would mark the twelfth month… a full year of her pregnancy.
"What can I get you, darling?" Kai asked as he walked into the kitchen.
"Everything," Su Yiren answered, and Kai rolled his eyes with a chuckle.
